PLD Space is completing the activities needed to bring MIURA 5 toward operational debut.

Inductive charging platforms such as Wiferion’s etaLINK series bypass mechanical constraints created by varying vehicle chassis heights, docking clearances, and localized contact wear.

Wiferion’s etaLINK series is a contactless inductive fast-charging platform.

Wiferion's etaLINK series is a contactless inductive fast-charging platform for automated vehicles and robots.

Inductive charging platforms such as Wiferion’s etaLINK series provide hardware flexibility for operator-controlled, multi-vendor fleets.

Matthieu Ebert is Director of Product & Technology at Wiferion, a PULS brand.

A unified wireless charging grid can scale from a first pilot deployment to a fully automated cross-vendor industrial footprint.

Wiferion’s etaLINK series provides contactless inductive fast charging for automated guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots.

NASA plans to develop a permanent lunar base camp capable of supporting long-duration missions by 2030.

A policy paper in Ambio proposes a lunar biocontainment facility to quarantine extraterrestrial samples before they reach Earth.

NASA plans to launch the crewed Artemis II mission in April 2026.

Frederick I. Moxley is the director of Strategic Threat Analysis and Research Laboratories.

The proposed lunar laboratory would use advanced robotic systems to process space-borne samples on the Moon.

NASA is prioritizing lunar surface infrastructure over an orbital station in the Artemis program.

Anthony Ricciardi is a biology professor and the Director of the Bieler School of Environment at McGill University.

Each Deep Synoptic Array antenna feed structure includes two concentric cake pans designed by Fat Daddios.

Schmidt Sciences also planned three other observatories in January, including a space-based telescope larger than Hubble.

The Deep Synoptic Array will use 1,650 radio dishes spread across 300 square kilometers in a valley in Nevada.

Schmidt Sciences is funding the Deep Synoptic Array project.

Arpita Roy is the director of astrophysics and space at Schmidt Sciences.

The Deep Synoptic Array is scheduled for completion by 2029.

GHGSat is one of 10 partners in POSEIDON.

GHGSat operates a fleet of 16 satellites dedicated to methane emissions identification.

GHGSat also monitors carbon dioxide and is expanding its sensing capabilities across industrial greenhouse gas sources.

GHGSat detected more than 20,000 emissions events above the super-emitter threshold of 100 kilograms per hour in 2025.

POSEIDON will use optical and radar-based satellite technology to improve detection of oil spills, including in sea ice, and to monitor chemicals, sewage, garbage, and ship-sourced emissions.

GHGSat’s Wide-Angle Fabry-Pérot imaging spectrometer can pinpoint methane sources to individual pieces of industrial equipment.

POSEIDON is a three-year initiative funded under the EU’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program with a budget of approximately 5 million euros, or approximately $5.5 million USD.

POSEIDON focuses on liquefied natural gas vessel emissions in EU and Arctic-adjacent waters.

The POSEIDON consortium includes partners from Norway, Canada, the Maldives, the Netherlands, Germany, South Korea, and Greece.

KSAT is leading its first EC Horizon Europe project through POSEIDON.

GHGSat is the consortium’s primary capability for detecting and quantifying gas emissions from LNG vessels.

GHGSat’s 16-satellite fleet is the largest methane emissions identification constellation in the world.

GHGSat monitors millions of industrial facilities annually at a daily revisit frequency.

POSEIDON carries EU Horizon Europe grant agreement No. 101296478.

Within POSEIDON, GHGSat’s role centers on the LNG sector.

GHGSat’s technology has been independently validated by NASA and the European Space Agency.

GHGSat’s Wide-Angle Fabry-Pérot imaging spectrometer can detect methane plumes down to approximately 25 square meters.

Kongsberg Satellite Services of Norway leads and coordinates the POSEIDON consortium.

GHGSat has joined POSEIDON, a European Union-funded project to expand space-based detection of maritime pollution.

The Long March 12 has flown six times since its debut.

Contracts for the mobile GN-1 system were awarded in late April.

GN-1 raises the YF-115’s specific impulse to 350 seconds.

The additional GN-1 production would be enough to fuel about six Long March 12 rockets per year.

The mobile GN-1 system was ready by the end of May.

The Beijing Institute of Aerospace Testing Technology calls the propellant high-energy kerosene and abbreviates it as GN-1.

Since 2020, the Beijing Institute of Aerospace Testing Technology has conducted gradually larger firings of GN-1 in custom hardware and mass-produced engines.

GN-1 increased the YF-115’s specific impulse by 8.5 seconds.

The Beijing Institute of Aerospace Testing Technology has tested GN-1 in 18-ton engines and 120-class engines.

Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Co Ltd chose a mobile GN-1 system for Commercial Launch Pad 2 because other users want to keep using conventional kerosene.
